My path into health and fitness came through a long volleyball career. Throughout my time playing volleyball, I was exposed to a lot of guidance in the weight room from various trainers to increase my on-court abilities through resistance training. My career was unfortunately plagued with a lot of injuries. This led me to learn more about the human body through biomechanics to find ways of reducing the chances that injuries would occur again. After my career, I found a love of sharing my knowledge and experiences with others to help in their own fitness endeavours, whether in sport or general health and fitness. This led me to beginning my career as a personal trainer.

After gaining my bachelors degree, I quickly realized that a base level of knowledge would never suffice to help people to the best of my abilities. I continued to seek the highest level of education through a combination of training clients in person and outside education providers. This allowed me to apply my new found knowledge in the field with my own training, and also my clients. I am a firm believer that there is no better teacher than ‘doing it live’ with a client in front of you. Nothing can replace real experience, with real humans.

Throughout my time training clients in person, I worked with a wide variety of people. From people who had never stepped foot in a gym before, people recovering from injuries & surgeries, to athletes looking to ascend the peak of their sport internationally. Understanding how to communicate with people of varying levels of movement competency, and helping them to learn how to perform exercises or adjusting small technical ailments, gave me a valuable skillset that I continue to build on.

After seven years of in-person training experience, many high level education courses, and designing an education platform, I decided to start my own online and in-person training business in Calgary, Alberta, to help more people dedicated to improving their own health and fitness around the world.
